A Christian podcast with goals of extolling God's mercies, examining scripture, and looking through the lens of a Christian worldview.
Answering important questions about eschatology and the gospel this week: What is Isaiah 65 referring to when he speaks of the New Heavens and Earth? How does ‘this age’ and ‘the age to come’ relate to the covenants? What eschatological points do we all agree on? And is the gospel working to make the world better?

And finally, how is discipline with our children a picture of the Gospel? Thank you all for listening! Please leave us a rating on iTunes!

As the culture becomes more secular and the state its God, homeschooling is becoming the education of choice for more and more Christian parents.

Special thank you to Mike B. Fort for our intro and segment music and Indelible Grace for the exit music.
Happy 2017! This week we had the opportunity to discuss the Doctrines of Grace with someone in sharp disagreement. This gave us the chance to reexamine a few of the most common misrepresentations of Calvinism. Though you may have come across these arguments many times before, we thought this was a great time to discuss how Reformed Theology is exegetically backed by scripture and often distorted by those with a more man-centered theology. We hope this episode is helpful in the discussions our listeners have with others and ultimately glorifies God in the correct interpretation of his Word. Just a reminder….. rate us on iTunes to be entered to win a “Reformational” prize at the end of January.
